he told me to get a mangaflow mufler with 2.5 outlet and replace it with the resonator under the passenger seat and that would get his sound... i forgot there were 2 more resonators in the middle of the car =p you think those need to be taken out to?

Yes, I remember anthony517. His set-up sounds nice! If that's what you're looking for, best bet would be to do the exact set-up that he had on his car. I can't recall, was his car an I6 or a V8?

I didnt hear anthonys car, in general, most cars if you take out the resonators it will become ALOT more raspy, high tone pitch with some sputter...

Hers a clip of my 645 stock mufflers, no resonators... before adding the magnaflow mufflers

It does sound nice, but I prefer a less raspy tone.

Have you listened to the other members' exhaust set-up, especially those with the I6 engines?
There are several members that have gone the Magnaflow bolt-on route.

Here's providenceleaf's 530i with the Magnaflow 14862,

Here's DKNewYork's 545i with the Magnaflow 14816,

Here's my first one ... Magnaflow 14862,
